I support pre-teens and teens through the complex transitions of adolescence—a time often filled with both possibility and overwhelm. Therapy offers a space to slow down, feel heard, and make sense of what they’re going through, at their own pace.

As they build self-awareness, emotional resilience, and self-acceptance, therapy becomes a foundation that supports them not just now, but into young adulthood and beyond.

Common challenges I help teens navigate:

• Academic pressure, performance anxiety, and perfectionism

• Depression, anxiety, and emotional overwhelm

• Bullying, social anxiety, isolation

• Family and cultural conflict, especially around intergenerational differences

• Intergenerational trauma

• Body image concerns, self-harm, and low self-esteem

• Big life changes—such as moving, immigration, or loss

• Coming out and exploring gender identity or sexual orientation

I have a special affinity for working with teens who are:

• Asian-American, BIPOC, or part of the Asian diaspora

• Navigating multiple cultural identities—including immigrants, international students, mixed-race teens, and transnational adoptees

• Neurodivergent, including those with ADHD and autism

• LGBTQ+

My approach is warm, relational, and grounded in cultural humility. I create a space where teens can bring all parts of themselves—especially those that may feel misunderstood or unseen elsewhere.

I invite you to book a free 20min consult with me, where you'd get an idea if we're a good fit for each other. We’ll talk about what you’re seeking, how we might work together, and any questions you may have. If you are a parent seeking support for your teen, I invite you to add your teen to the call. I look forward to connecting with you!
